so the com was on the whole night! and i wasn't even transferring anything!
ARGH!!! T.T
sorry to those whom i didn't reply!
bah. let's start from..
Day 1
woke up earlyyyy in the morning after 3hours odd of sleep.
reached school at 6am. handed in the travel form(YAY I REMEMBERED TO BRING)
then we gathered for briefing and stuff. had to tie red ribbon around our luggage. lol.
and we waited for kendra to reach..(she was late btw)..
and waited.. and waited. finally she came! hmm, boarded the coach with our passports&whitecards&luggages .. the usual la.
journey through singapore checkpoint&malaysia checkpoint to mersing was..
rather funny? lol. stupid melson taking pictures of people sleeping.
IRRITATING RIGHT?! hahahaha. i didn't sleep at all laaaa. i want to sleep also cannot.
hmm, played taitee etc. lolllllll. it was such a lonnnnnnnngggggggg ride to mersing!
so many people trying to hold in their pee and stuff. LOL.
but not me!~ i don't drink water one. hehehe.

since you posted on your blog, I SHALL DO THE SAME. HA!

stare what stare. @_@

she just woke up.. i think. lol.

muahahahha. :D
i still have pictures of others but.. aiya, time is precious mang! alright!
we reached the mersing ferry terminal, where we had our toilet break!
some of us went to buy snacks and chewing/bubblegum etc as well.
i bought ice cream! ^-^
alrighty, on the ferry.. it was ultra squeezy la..
there weren't enough seats..
so it was me(by the window), cyn, yennying, grace, then michele lu at the aisle.
and it was seats meant for 4people.
not 5 =michele took one whole seat by herself laaaa~~~
then later on grace when she was sleeping also dominated one whole seat.

T_T.it was super stuffy in the ferry!
we were all laughing at jimmy's sleeping face xD
talktalktalktalktalk. :D oh and suddenly melson's head would pop up at the front and take pictures. excuse me *ah ter (inside joke LOL), got camera you think you very BIG AH?
WAH ATTITUDE SIA. lolx!

see, the head pops up first.

next, almost the whole creature can be seen. hahahaha.

from the window.. some boulders. lol.


nearing the island..

even nearer.. :D
alrighty so we reached tioman island! hoorah!
we were so amazed by the whole place..
the sea was totally clear and like, everything can be seen underwater la!
the sand were in layers.. like.. how to say ah.
like.. wiggly wiggly lines of sand protruding from the seabed.
lol. its caused by the wave action. mm.
we walked the paya beach resort where we had lunch! SPAGHETTI!
haha. we ate so much la =kinda reminded me of 'the hungry table' when we were in china last year. haha!
mm.. there were lotsa flies and all. so we were kept busy swatting flies while eating.
gah, after lunch, faster grabbed our bags to put them in our rooms.
me, grace, yennying and celine shared a room initially.
anyway, we immediately changed at top speed and went to meet at the 'rendezvous point'.
no time to rest! rawrrr. we went for an 'introduction trek' around the place.
alot of interesting stuff!
first few trees we saw were casuarina and etc. wild ginger.. sea apple.. soursop.. jackfruit.. AIYA, alot of things can already la. lol.
we walked through streams and stuff as well. which is why we had on our bootys la. lol.
trekked our way through alot of places? lol.
mangroves etc. very super cool ^-^
fiddler crabs are really interesting creatures man.
they have 1big pincer and a smaller one.
the smaller one for eating while the bigger one is really redundant.
only to attract females and to fight.
once the big one gets 'chopped off' in a fight, the smaller one grows big and the chopped off one grows to become a smaller pincer. COOL MAN. :D
we walked in the mangrove and got really wet.
and muddy. so squishy la! LOL.
hmm. went back to the resort around..6+. bathed and went for dinner :D
soooo romantic la. we sat by the beach there. only tk students. hehehe.
buffet. niceeeeeeeeee. there was very little lighting. so like.. lol..
mm, we went for some rainforest talk after that.
went back to the room la.
Day 2
okay so uhm, sunday! we had to wake up early.. zZz..
breakfast :DD yums!
buffet breakfast lol. i ate so much la.. really like mountain pile.
was super duper hungry.rawrrrr. (",)
we then went for our rainforest trek..at kg. tekek, with a heavy bagpack. lol.
alright, not really heavy but STILL..
anyways, from paya, we took a boat to tekek la.
enjoying the scenery along the way.. hehe.


whoooo. :D creating waves! haha.
nearing tekek.. see the construction going on?
they're building a marina.. damaging the corals and many other marine life!
erghh. :( karen told us that maybe if it doesn't work out, these things are just left like that untouched. so evil.. zZzz.
okay! so it was a really long walk to the rainforest itself.
walkwalkwalkwalk. most of us complaining already. LOL.
oh and halfway, it started raining -_-.. so..yeah.
rain while going to the rainforest. haha!
anyways, those who brought ponchos took theirs out and those who didn't..
well, got wet. but then we found shelter so yeah.
hmm, continued the journey there after 30minutes? around there i think.
oh the village, theres this old couple who actually turned plastic bottles into flowers and stuff.
really pretty! :D
alrightys, trekked through the rainforest.. bitten by mozzies.. irritated by insects.. terrorized by hornets..looking for animals and insects.. learning about this and that. lol.
secondary forest - LOTS of mozzies. and the whole place is so messy with seedlings, saplings, trees and lotsa shrubs etc.
did our rainforest survey then trekked again. primary rainforest!
we sat at the 'tree on the rock'

i think i trained my heart man.
my heart jumped so many times every time i slipped.
there was once i slipped and nearly fell down the freaking steep slope down.
